Latex Paint & Carbon... News

For those interested, the Glen-L newsletter is out and they have a couple of interesting articles. One includes a few comments on the use of Latex exterior paint on boats. I know some have already used it, but, some may have questions about it. The article commented on Platt Monford's use on his Geodesic Boats, but, there was no mention of useing a Linseed Oil/Latex mixture. ?? Then for many of you who are interested in copying plans to plywood, they are offering carbon paper in 2' x 16' sizes that can be cut in half to cover a whole 4' x 8' sheet of plywood. I believe it was around $7.95 each sheet. Check it out! Hope I got the link right.
